Glancing at Mei Yinxue, Mu Jinyu always felt like she was aware of something and seemed a bit guilty. Then, feeling awkward just sitting there in silence, he asked,
"By the way, did you catch that Gu Youlan who was involved with the Card Shark incident at the casino a while back?"
"Not yet." Mei Yinxue shook her head gently, "But it's okay. She and Zhu Yeqing are nothing to worry about. I was able to drive them out of River City years ago, and I can do it again now."
Her tone was calm, yet there was an inherent dominance to it.
Years ago, she had been kind-hearted and lenient, sparing Huang Qiuhua and the others. After so many years, they not only lacked gratitude but also sought revenge time and again.
Even more, she had narrowly escaped assassination by Huang Qiuhua several times. If not for Mu Jinyu, she probably would have died long ago. So after Huang Qiuhua's death, when Gu Youlan came looking for trouble again, she had no intention of showing mercy.
If Gu Youlan and Zhu Yeqing dared to come back, she would show them the true meaning of cruelty!
The car soon arrived back at Mei Yinxue's home.
Mei Yinxue now lived in a villa by the river, which was much more superior in both size and decor compared to the Seaview Garden's King of the Building that Mu Jinyu had in his possession.
The wrought iron gate detected the car's return and automatically opened. The car drove in and then parked in the parking lot.
"Let's go!"
Mei Yinxue opened the car door and invited Mu Jinyu with a smile.
Mu Jinyu had been staying here for the past few days and was naturally familiar with the place. Hearing this, he let out a helpless sigh and followed her out of the car.
Once inside the villa, Mei Yinxue instructed Mu Jinyu to take a shower on the first floor while she would shower on the second floor. This way they could be quicker, and they could wrap things up sooner.
As for why not together?
It was because Mu Jinyu was too thin-skinned.
"Sigh."
Mu Jinyu watched as Mei Yinxue walked upstairs, retracted his gaze, let out a long sigh, and headed towards the washroom on the first floor.
Standing in front of the mirror in the washroom, Mu Jinyu looked at his own exquisite and Unparalleled face and couldn't help but lament, "It's tough being good-looking!"
After his moment of reflection.
Mu Jinyu went to fill the bathtub with water, checked the temperature, which was just right, then began to undress and comfortably lay down in the tub.
Half an hour later.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Knocking sounds came from the door.
Along with the knocking, Mei Yinxue's voice called out.
"Hey, are you done yet? Why are you getting slower these days?"
Her tone held a hint of complaint.
Mu Jinyu lay in the bathtub, everything below his neck indecently submerged in foam created by the bath soak, with only his head above the surface.
He was squinting his eyes, enjoying the moment. Hearing the knocking, he didn't even open his eyes but replied lazily, "Oh, come on, don't rush, good things take time."
Mei Yinxue said, "I don't want delicate work; I want rough work!"
Mu Jinyu said nothing more.
After waiting a moment, Mei Yinxue shouted, "I'm giving you ten more minutes, and if you're not out by then, I'm coming in myself."
Mu Jinyu's body shivered slightly in the bathtub, then he called out resignedly, "Alright, alright."
"Ha..."
Laughter like the tinkling of bells followed and then gradually faded away.
Lying in the bathtub, Mu Jinyu opened his eyes and muttered, "If the tiger doesn't show its might, do you think I'm a sick cat? Hmph, looks like I have to unleash my power tonight. If it weren't for the fear of such things being bad for the health if done too often, do you think you'd still have the upper hand over me?"
After muttering to himself, Mu Jinyu got up from the bathtub and began to rinse off the foam, preparing to quickly finish his bath and then go out to take care of Mei Yinxue, to show her who's boss!
Rinsing off the foam, he grabbed the towel hanging nearby and began to wipe his body. Just then, he heard a knock from outside.
"Thump thump thump!"
Mu Jinyu roughly estimated the time; it had only been three or four minutes. With resignation, he said, "It hasn't even been five minutes yet, what's the rush?"
The person outside, upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, seemed to confirm his target, and then suddenly…
"Bang!"
The glass door was kicked open by someone, and immediately countless shards of glass, carrying a ferocious force energy, shot towards the somewhat dumbfounded Mu Jinyu!
"Do you really need to be so impatient and aggressive?"
Mu Jinyu blinked, then with a wave of the towel in his hand, he wrapped up all the flying glass shards, neutralizing their force energy. Releasing his hold, he tossed the glass-laden towel aside.
"You…"
Just as Mu Jinyu was about to scold Mei Yinxue, he saw that the person standing at the door was not Mei Yinxue at all.
It was an old nun dressed in a gray monk's robe.
The reason she was identified as an old nun was due to the numerous wrinkles on her face.
However, judging by her nose, eyes, and other features, she must have been a beauty when she was young.
"Not bad at all."
The old nun appraised Mu Jinyu and gave him a compliment.
Mu Jinyu was startled by her words and only then did he remember that he had just come out of the bathtub. The towel he had been using to wipe his body was now wrapped around the glass shards and tossed aside…
That meant he was now completely exposed below the neck for her to see…
Damn!
Mu Jinyu quickly grabbed a bath towel nearby and, while wrapping his body in haste, he thought in panic about the old nun's earlier remark.
Then, with a somewhat reddened face, he modestly said, "Average, it's just average."
The old nun continued in a chilling tone, "Such a young age to become a Martial Arts Grandmaster, who is your master?"
"Huh?!"
When Mu Jinyu heard what the old nun said, he sensed something was wrong. His movement with the bath towel paused, and he tilted his head to look at the old nun, asking, "Did you just ask about my martial arts?"
"What else did you think I was asking about?" the old nun said coldly, finding it somewhat puzzling.
Seeing her straightforward gaze, Mu Jinyu took a deep breath and laughed, "I thought you were talking about the decent decor of my bathroom."
After speaking, Mu Jinyu thought about the unexplained arrival of the old nun at his home, and how she had broken the door of his washing room without saying a word. Annoyed, he sternly asked, "Who are you? What do you want in my house? Why did you break my bathroom door?"
The old nun asked, "Do you have the prescription for the Beauty Pill?"
"Yes," Mu Jinyu responded.
He thought, so it's for the Beauty Pill again, huh? But this old nun herself looks rather young; she's probably been eating plenty of my Beauty Pills. Coveting my products and now trying to rob me.
The old nun said coldly, "Hand it over."
"No," Mu Jinyu refused and was about to subdue the old nun, planning to let Mei Yinxue deal with her afterwards.
However, just as he was about to act…
The old nun pulled out a gun from her pocket, the dark mouth of the gun pointed directly at Mu Jinyu as she ordered coldly, "Don't move, put your hands up!"
Cursing inwardly, Mu Jinyu could only obediently comply and raise his hands.
And as he raised his hands, the loosely tied bath towel immediately slipped off.
Mu Jinyu, with a bitter face, closed his eyes and cried out pitifully, "Nun, let's not lose our composure!"
